Fast snails demonstrated a keen comprehension of light and colour, helping to create a sense of realism and depth to their works. Nothing to say but the humorous tradition of raising the basic philosophical questions that touch upon our grassroot art. The reality of interesting art remains invisible. That much is clear.
